- Is organic weed better? I sent this in last week's newsletter but accidentally linked to
the wrong page. Sorry about that 😅 Get the actual link today! And don't hesitate to hit the "Reply" button and tell us what you think about organic weed.

- It's a strange feeling to be doing something for almost 11 years and still be happy doing it. Trophy Pics of the week is like getting a piece of the fun you growers had while growing these plants instead I do none of the work. It's a pretty sweet deal for everyone involved, including the growers!

Why do some buds turn purple (and why that might not be a good thing) 🌳➕🟪➡👎❓ |

When I started growing cannabis, I was fascinated by the different colors of buds. The first time I grew deep purple buds, they looked almost too beautiful to be real. But is it a “good thing” to see purple cannabis buds? The answer may surprise you. Find out today! All cannabis buds are flowers, but the purple ones look the part. Deep purple buds are eye-catching, but what does it mean? What makes cannabis buds purple?
Purple is the result of a pigment called anthocyanin. Anthocyanin causes the red, blue, and purple color in many plants, fruits, and vegetables. Anthocyanin is found in many plants besides cannabis, such as this purple shamrock, or familiar
foods like blueberries, eggplant, and red cabbage. Anthocyanin acts as a “sun tan” in plants, protecting the plant’s cells from high levels of UV radiation. That’s why cannabis buds and leaves close to the light tend to turn purple, while shadier parts of the plant tend to stay green. The parts of this leaf that turned purple were exposed to the light, while the green parts were hidden in the
shadow of other leaves. The purple is essentially a “tan” to protect the plant. Anthocyanin also offers protection against extreme temperatures, which is why cannabis leaves may turn purple in response to cold, temperature fluctuations, or other marijuana plant stress....

How to Help Yellow Cannabis Seedlings |
|
|
What causes cannabis seedlings to turn yellow? Having a problem with your cannabis seedlings? Here’s a quick tutorial to help you identify the problem and get it solved right away so you can get back to growing marijuana. What Causes Cannabis Seedlings to Turn Yellow (or Show Other Symptoms)? - Poor Watering Practices – When it comes to seedlings, the most common problem is overwatering. Leaves may turn yellow if roots stay wet for long periods of time (“wet feet”) and may also show a wide variety of other symptoms, spots, and nutrient deficiencies. Less commonly similar symptoms can be caused by underwatering but it’s more rare because small plants don’t drink much. Learn how to water your cannabis plants.
- Bad Soil – If the soil is thick and muddy, your seedlings will grow poorly. Good cannabis soil drains well and is rich and light.
- Not Enough Light – Seedlings get long and stretchy with big spaces between sets of leaves, often with yellowing. Check out a list of great LED grow lights for growing cannabis.
- Too Much Light – Parts of the plant closest to the light are turning yellow or brown. Learn about light burn.
- Too Hot or Dry – This can cause leaves to turn into tacos, crinkle up at the edges, and sometimes turn yellow if it gets too bad. Learn about heat stress and controlling temperatures.
- Incorrect pH – If pH is too high or too low the plant
may show nitrogen or other deficiencies. Learn about controlling pH to prevent nutrient deficiencies. As long as your plant is getting nutrients and
doesn’t appear droopy, 9/10 times the nutrient deficiency is actually being caused by the incorrect ph.
- Not Enough Nutrients (rare) – If growing in soil, it’s very unlikely your seedling will use up all the nutrients in the first few weeks. However, if growing in coco or hydro, it’s important to give seedlings suitable nutrients from germination or they will quickly turn yellow from the bottom up.

"All of your research on light is worth its weight in gold. Have you tried a "GROW LIGHT SCIENCE" LED, it looks very interesting!" ~Major Stamen We haven't tried them yet, but the pics on their Instagram look pretty darn good. Looks like more testing ahead! ~Sirius |
"Hi from Canada, hope you're all doing well. Just wanted to thank you & say I appreciate all your efforts with your weekly newsletters & website sharing info & experimental results, it's a Sunday morning ritual for me, coffee & reading your newsletter & words of
wisdom quote, I think about 10 years now." ~John Wow, that's insane. Thanks for sticking around and reading our newsletter for so long. Believe it or not, we're going to hit our 11th year of doing the newsletter in 6 weeks. It's an unreal feeling!
~Sirius "Been reading your newsletter for almost 2 years before I realized you guys both have names to do with space 🤣" ~Eric Weirdly enough, that wasn't on purpose. We both had to come up with fake names (for legal reasons back in the day) and we both just happened to pick space-themed names. ~Sirius

"Checkin’ in; 24 day old OG Kush. The black arrow indicates where I removed the main bud sight, “then”, jump on GWE and see Nebula’s recommendation on doing this at about 12” tall, 😂, she is only 5” tall 😳. Keep in mind that this is my 1st auto. It has been a joy so far, but it all goes by quicker than a photoperiod. I’m hanging on to yer skirt tails, thanks!" ~Major Stamen Ay ay ay!
Look at the node spacing on these plants! The node spacing alone is proof that these little babies are being treated extremely well. ~Sirius |
"Jack herer and white widow"
~SmokeG You're growing two classic strains that never get old my book and it looks like you're doing a great job so far. Keep it up! 👍

Got Fishy-looking Letters in Your Email? |

If Oprah says it three times in a row, there's a good chance it's true

GrowWeedEasy.com is being sued...again! Last week, we told you about an aggressive letter we received through our website where someone was claiming to sue us. It turned out to be a big fat scam. Well, this scam must be getting popular because we received another letter from a completely different (scam) company made in a very similar fashion. They
claim we've stolen their content and they want us to pay them before we go to court. I looked up the domain of their email and it links to...a fake site about installing bathtubs? We're just going to ignore this letter for now, but if GWE gets sued and goes under, just know that it was because of beautiful bathtub pics that we've never seen. Make sure to
watch out for seed scams! Remember: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone call, email, etc.).
